Honor, Judge Pressly, has worked inde-
fatigably, beginning at nine o'clock, and
continuing the session to dark, with
short recess for dinner. The only case of
public consequence, was the case of the
City Council vs.. the G. & g. r. R., to
compel the bridging of the width of the
cuts on Main and McDufie street. Maj.

favor of the railroad. The Court will

recollections of his ability, rapidly and
courtesy in dispatching the business of

Mr.. D. a. Smith, of the KeoDee Courier.
has recently received letter from his
uncle, Hon. Walter M. Gibson, of the
Sandwich Islands, who is now in San
Francisco. The letter in full was pub
lished in last weeks Courier, and from it
we take the following extract:
fully intended, when I set out from
Honolulu, to go East and South, and of
course visit the cherished old backwoods
of Anderson and Pickens and their peo.
pie. But invalidism has held me here
all the time allotted for such travel. I
must return to the islands the latter part
of next month according to agreement.
would be happy to shake hands again
with few friends in Anderson, Pendle-
ton, Sandy Springs and Walhalla, and
meet you and your dear family. But
perhaps may have opportunity ere long.
We have splendid line of steamships
making the run from San Francisco to
Honolulu within week, and 30 when
am healthy and strong again, as hope to
be, to the extent that my years will per-
NIT, shall take pleasure in run over
ocean and over land to visit the old
stamping grounds Of my happy spring
time of life. i always think OF RachePs
(his wife's) little grave; the wooded knoll
by the old house the cool gurgling spring
near by, where she and often dipped
and drank; the shaded little creek, down
in the bottom; the fallen tree trunk over
the stream, over which I crossed with
the help of her steadying hand; the
grand old woods through which We
rambled hand in hand, and as think OF
all this, and the love of my youth, pray,
God bless old South Carolina.
